"Our Caughnawagas in Egypt" recounts a fascinating and largely untold chapter of British military history in the Sudan. Author Louis Jackson details the vital role played by a contingent of North American Indian voyageurs, specifically the Caughnawaga, during the ill-fated Nile Expedition to relieve the siege of Khartoum in 1884-1885. This historical narrative explores the unique skills and expertise these men brought to navigating the treacherous cataracts of the Nile. Witness their invaluable contribution to the British efforts as they led the boat expedition upriver. Delve into a rich account of adventure, resilience, and cultural exchange, shedding light on a pivotal moment in Sudan history and highlighting the participation of Native Americans in a faraway conflict. A compelling historical record, this book offers a unique perspective on a dramatic siege and the extraordinary individuals caught within its unfolding events.
